Grant Ulysses 1822 - 1885 U.S. Grant, as President, signs an important warrant for the pardon of Andrew Scott
Single page 8.5" x 11". A partially printed pardon signed and dated by U.S. Grant as "25th January 1871", and "U.S. Grant". Several tiny spots to the ink that are slightly smudged. Otherwise near fine with expected folds
A wonderful clean example of a warrant for a pardon by President U.S. Grant. During Grant's presidency, he pardoned, commuted or rescinded the convictions of 1,332 people during his term. Although many of the people he pardoned were part of the Confederate army, Grant's presidency revealed scandals and fraudulent activities associated with his administration. His cabinet was in continual transition, divided by the forces of political corruption and reform. President Grant, ever trusting of his associates, found himself influenced by both forces. Grant's reactions to the scandals ranged from prosecuting the perpetrators to protecting or pardoning those who were accused and convicted of the crimes.
